Little Giant Page #5

Synopsis: Lou Costello plays a country bumpkin vacuum-cleaner salesman, working for the company run by the crooked Bud Abbott. To try to keep him under his thumb, Abbott convinces Costello that he's a crackerjack salesman. This comedy is somewhat like "The Time of Their Lives," in that Abbott and Costello don't have much screen time together and there are very few vaudeville bits woven into the plot.
Genre: Comedy

She picks the oranges and

puts 'em in the crates.

I gotta lift the crates.

Gives me big muscles.

I'll let you know. Yes, sir. There you are.

Take off the rest of your

clothes! You mean, my pants?

Yes, please.

All finished. Ah, let's see. Turn around.

You certainly don't look

like Hercules to me.

Who wants to look like

a vacuum cleaner?

Who's talking about a vacuum?

I'm talking about Hercules, a man!

Surely you've heard of

Hercules? What's his last name?

Like Hercules Brown. Hercules

Ginsberg. Everybody has a last name.

No last name, just Hercules!

An old Greek hero.

Oh... him!

What's he do?

He cleaned out

some stables.

Cleaned out stables?

That's nothing.

I clean out stables

every week in Cucamonga.

But these stables

were different.

Did they have horses in them?

Certainly they had horses!

Then if there was horses

in 'em, it's no different.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

All I want you to do is pose as

Hercules in our new advertising campaign.

But, Mr. Morrison! Quiet! Sit down.

Mr. Morrison, here's

another idea for...

Excuse me.

Ohh!

Hercules.

It must be drafty

down there.

Come out before

you catch cold.

It ain't my fault.

He made me do it.

Here are your clothes. You can

"repants" yourself in there.

Thank you. I never was undressed

like this before in public.

Thank you

ever so much.

He's cute, isn't he?

Why didn't you introduce me?

Introduce you!

Don't try to rib me.

What's the idea of

sending me a guy like that?

Oh, Hercules! Of course,

silly. Show him your muscles.

Never mind, the job is yours.

Get out. Scram.

If he's Hercules,

who's that in there?

Maybe it's Cupid.

I'm not kidding. This can be

serious. Take it easy, Eddie.

Someone's probably just

ribbing you. That's just it.

If Van Loan hears, I'll be the

laughingstock of this office.

They'll be calling you, "Take 'em

off, Morrison. " Cut it out, Hazel.

We've gotta do something

to keep that little guy's mouth shut.

Pull yourself together,

big shot. Hazel will fix.

Come out, come out,

whoever you are.

I'm comin'.

Hello? Hello there. I'm Hazel

Temple from the art department.

I'm Benny Miller

from Cucamonga.

It's certainly wonderful meeting

a fellow from Cucamonga. Thank you.

Do you mind if I fix your

tie, Benny? No, ma'am.

Oh, you smell nice.

You smell just like... just

like... Like what, Benny?

Just like my mama's flower garden

on a bright moonlight night.

There, I said it.

Benny, there've been a lot

of mistakes made here.

Mr. Morrison made the first one.

He mistook you for somebody else.

Yes, I know. A Greek

strongman. He's awfully sorry.

Aren't you? Yes, I've never
